First Randoli is tonight. Does the Temple of the Tooth still open around the early Sunday puja window so we can visit before parade crowds build, or has festival week shifted morning access.

Early Sunday access still works if you arrive dressed modestly as doors open for the morning rhythm. Go quiet, finish before late morning, and leave buffer for tonight.

Festival week adds foot traffic even at dawn. Pair a short temple stop with a lake loop rather than lingering for photos.

Do not stack a long morning queue and an afternoon claim for Randoli. One calm temple hour is enough.
